This listing is for 5 AAA Oregon Sunstone Faceted Focal Nugget Beads (one of the 5 beads lots) you see in the photos. This is the most exquisite Sunstone we have ever seen; it is truly sublime. Most of us are familiar with the more common variety of sunstone which is more opaque and deeper colored with glittery sparks, but this is exceptional stuff here. In Oregon Sunstone the color is more delicate and transparent and stones have more of an iridescent coppery sheen or "schiller" in common with other members of the feldspar family (labradorite and moonstone).
There is some variation, but the average size range is about 7-12mm wide by 8-13mm long. The beads in your mini strand may differ in the exact measurements, but should be close. The average weight of these 5 bead lot is 20.96 carats (yours may differ by +/- 0.5 carats). If you have a preference for a particular lot that you see pictured please contact us before purchasing to check availability. Strands are identified as "a-e" in the group photo. Indidvidual strand photos are shown in order from "a" (first photo) to "e" (2nd to last photo-- order of photos being from left to right). Our ebay price on these would have been $45.50 so you are saving $4.55 by purchasing them here at ranamountainstudio.com.
